Background/History

The Order was a white supremacist terrorist organization, founded
by Robert Mathews in 1983, that committed bank robberies, the bombing
of a synagogue and the murder of a radio talk-show host. The group
lives on through its imprisoned members who continue to propagandize
from their cells and influence other members of the white supremacist
movement.
